Priester (0-1) took the loss Monday, allowing seven runs on seven hits and two walks over 5.1 innings against Cleveland. He struck out two.

Priester started strong with three perfect innings before things unraveled. He gave up three runs over the next two innings before Cleveland tagged him with four runs in the sixth. The 22-year-old threw 47 of 73 pitches for strikes in his MLB debut. If he sticks around for another start, Priester is currently lined up to face the Angels on the road this weekend.

Sheehan (3-0) allowed four runs on five hits and three walks over five innings Monday, striking out two and earning a win against Baltimore.

Sheehan coughed up three runs over the first two innings but was able to settle in and improve to 3-0. The 23-year-old has struggled in his last two outings; he's coughed up nine runs with a 6:7 K:BB through 8.2 innings during that span. His ERA now sits at 4.91 through five career MLB appearances. Sheehan's next start is projected to be in Texas this weekend.

Miley was placed on the 15-day injured list Monday due to left elbow discomfort.

Miley last pitched July 9 against the Reds and picked up the win after firing six shutout innings, but there had been no word of any injury until Monday. The move is retroactive to Friday, so he'll be eligible for activation beginning July 29. Colin Rea is the likely candidate to make Miley's next scheduled start Wednesday against the Phillies.

Priester had his contract selected by the Pirates and he'll officially start Monday against the Guardians.

Operating as one of Pittsburgh's best prospects, Priester will get his first shot at big-league competition Monday. The right-hander has compiled a solid 4.31 ERA and 8.7 K/9 ratio in Triple-A this season and he'll take on a Cleveland lineup that's been slumping lately, averaging 3.8 runs scored over their last 10 contests.

Washington claimed Munoz off waivers from Atlanta on Monday and optioned him to Triple-A Rochester.

Before designating Munoz for assignment last week, Atlanta appeared to have abandoned the idea of developing the right-hander as a starter, as he was deployed in relief in all but four of his 22 appearances with Triple-A Gwinnett, Double-A Mississippi and the rookie-level Florida Complex League this season while pitching to a 3.89 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 40:27 K:BB across 39.1 innings. The 23-year-old boasts a mid-90s fastball and a plus slider, and that two-pitch mix could be enough for him to emerge as a useful relief prospect down the road. Though he'll stay at the Triple-A level with his new organization, Munoz should at least have an easier pathway to reaching the big leagues with Washington.

Corbin (personal) was reinstated from the paternity list Monday, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

Corbin will join the Nationals in Chicago ahead of their series with the Cubs and he's currently projected to start Wednesday's series finale. In order to make a spot on the major-league roster for the left-hander, Joan Adon was optioned to Triple-A Rochester on Monday.

The Brewers promoted Misiorowski from High-A Wisconsin to Double-A Biloxi on Monday, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

After striking out the side in a head-turning performance during the All-Star Futures Game on July 8, Misiorowski made one final tune-up outing at the High-A level over the weekend before ultimately earning the call to Biloxi. The flame-throwing right-hander will join his third affiliate of the season after he began the 2023 campaign at Single-A Carolina before moving to the Midwest League in early June. Over his six starts at Wisconsin, Misiorowski turned in a 1.90 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 28:14 K:BB across 23.2 innings.

Lin struck out eight while giving up two hits and walking one in six scoreless frames Sunday against Frisco during his first start for Double-A Amarillo.

The undersized southpaw sits around only 90 mph with his fastball, but he has big-time offspeed stuff, with one of the best changeups in the minors and a pair of high-spin breaking balls. Lin had three double-digit strikeout games in his final six starts at High-A, registering a 2.33 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 52 strikeouts in 38.2 innings over that stretch. He just turned 20 last week and is the youngest pitcher at Double-A.

Quintana is now slated to start Thursday's game against the White Sox at Citi Field, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

When he was reinstated from the 60-day injured list this past Friday, Quintana had been in line to start Tuesday's series opener with the White Sox, but he'll instead make his Mets debut two days later after the organization's brain trust decided he could benefit from some additional rest. Quintana built up to 4.1 innings and 78 pitches in his fifth and final minor-league rehab start July 8, so he's not expected to face any major limitations from a workload standpoint when he takes the hill Thursday. The veteran southpaw is coming off a resurgent 2022 campaign split between the Cardinals and Pirates in which he posted a 2.93 ERA and 1.21 WHIP in 165.2 innings.

Soroka gave up two runs on three hits over three innings of relief in Sunday's loss to the White Sox. He struck out three without walking a batter.

Luis Robert took Soroka deep in the sixth inning to account for all the damage off him, but Atlanta was already facing a 6-1 deficit at that point. The early exit of Kolby Allard (shoulder) forced Soroka into action Sunday for 30 pitches (25 strikes) -- the right-hander is currently scheduled to get the start Friday, but the team could shuffle around its rotation and bump him into Allard's spot Saturday if the southpaw is forced to miss his turn, or even just to give Soroka an extra day's rest.
